You need to save the payload in the node context and then you can pick it up the next time round.
See the section on Storing Data in

You could use a join node and tell it to wait for 2 consecutive values and put them in an array. You can then use array arithmetic on the values.

I believe that the collector node might do this for you. I use it to keep repeated peeks at a mail stream from repeating the same messages.
